So another one of the assignments for this #braveblogging course was to write a poem.

I balked at first.

I am not a poet, I have never studied poetry, wouldn't really know the first thing about writing a poem. But in the spirit of bravery, I thought I'd try. And it was a bust. Forced, trite, silly. So I trashed it. Still, I was determined to write a poem. Suddenly it felt like a double dog dare I had to take.

I tried again the next day and decided to write a poem about how to write a poem. I still have no idea whether it's a poem, but I had fun with this one, so I kept it.
